so i just did the "kill the 6 PFC member" mission that turn into "rescue the child soldiers". had a nice no-kill run going but it turned into a clusterfuck at the halfway point. the kids kept getting spotted despite me telling them to wait, which brought the patrolling attack helicopter over to blow us all up. on the second second attempt i smoke naded 4 doods and chain CQC'd them, only to have the morons run into the smoke and sit there coughing for 30 secs while the other soldiers shot at us. third attempt had me loading them into the evac chopper, getting spotted, and having the enemy gunship blow us all up. finally said gently caress it and shot everyone in the face with a borrowed sniper rifle

still somehow got an S rank :psyduck:

It's all politics, Mike.

you can s rank basically any mission lethally since headshots and time give you a lot of points

i did that mission almost non lethaly until the end when i missed a soldier and then shot my way out and got an s rank

also you need to be careful since the child soldiers are just as vulnerable to your attacks as adult pmc soldiers

it's never really spelled out clearly

the boss probably knew during operation snake eater, and snake found out from eva who was told by volgin(?) that ocelot's mom had a snake shaped scar, so if nobody else knew snake could have given his buddy the "i knew your mom" speech

evidently ocelot found out sometime in the 6 years between snake eater and the san hieronymo incident, since ocelot was the one that came up with the plan for fox to kill the boss but at the end of portable ops he kills the dci and steals the legacy for zero apparently as revenge for getting conned into setting up the plan to kill his mom

e: then again portable ops also makes it seem like it could have the dci that developed the plan to kill the boss, but by peace walker hot coldman takes credit for operation snake eater so who knows

Whats the poo poo they pulled?

Bungie filed another motion. not to contest that the composer had won but to be vindictive.

quote:

“So, the only reason for them to file this is to make a public record for the PR. The prior 10 pages of garbage is an obvious and transparent attempt at damage control by recasting the ruling as a huge win by Bungie But, all they won was the ability to strip Marty of him to possessing or performing his Music of the Spheres, his opus as a composer. They were not awarded any damages. They just made him give back all of his copies of the CD to the music he composed and recorded with Sir Paul, along with some t-shirts and coffee mugs.”

OK so as i said my brother and I are marathoning all the MGS games so we can "get" MGS V

i played MGS 1 all night on PS3 and just woke up

i tried to load the game again and it says NO FILE on the memory card

i had explored the menus and there was no "save game" option that i remember so i assumed it was saving automatically when i quit

i wanna cry and kill myself at the same time!

i just ran through the base in virtuous mission and the return to the base that was in virtuous mission in MGS3 shooting people left and right because i'm bored of sneaking and it didn't penalize me in any way. i'm hoping to employ the same tactic throughout the game, also stabbing gavials.

You get new camos that have special effects for doing the bosses non-lethally, but even then you can do it by running around and tranq shooting them if you want to. The only penalty for getting seen is you don't unlock... infinite ammo, I think?

I tranqed or beat up every boss in MGS2 I think so vOv And infinite ammo only comes into play once you beat the game and start again, right? So that won't benefit me in any way for a long long while.

Playing through MGS while skipping chatter and cut-scenes is a terrible idea because the gameplay is bad.

i thought "call mei ling on the codec to save" was one of those a priori things that all gamers knew

if you really want to catch up with the metal gear story in any reasonable amount of time this is probably the fastest solution (skipping all the gameplay sections)
